Another fun treat … a never-before-seen script from the unproduced episode “Friday,” based on Rebecca Black’s fifteen minutes of fame.* Read & enjoy. And probably weep.
Check up on our indiegogo campaign here! Then spread it around!
*It is possible that when Yuri wrote this episode, he was going through a phase where he would sing this song all the time. I’m just saying… ALL THE TIME!**
**Shut up, Tara. You don’t know. I mean, it’s not like I was obsessed or anything.***
***I think you just proved that you were totally obsessed.****
****YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND HER BRILLIANCE! IT’S BEYOND YOU!! GAH!!!
THE SHELF - DAY
BUG BOY is hanging out on the shelf by himself.
He is singing Rebecca Black’s “Friday.”
BUG BOY
(singing)
“… Seven AM wakin’ up in the morning, gotta be fresh gotta go downstairs. Gotta have my bowl gotta have cereal. Seeing everything the time is going ticking on and on everybody’s rushing—”
HERO MAN has just walked on.
HERO MAN
What were you doing?
Busted.
BUG BOY
Nothing.
HERO MAN
You’re a dirty liar. You were singing that Rebecca Black song.
BUG BOY
No I wasn’t.
HERO MAN
Not only does that song suck, but it sucked, like, a year ago.
BUG BOY
Shut up.
HERO MAN
I can’t wait to tell the—
HERO LASS enters, singing.
HERO LASS
“…Gotta get down to the Bus Stop. Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends—”
HERO MAN
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
HERO LASS
What?
HERO MAN
Et tu, Sistray?
HERO LASS
I love this song!
BUG BOY
Right?
HERO MAN
Well you’re the only two people who-
SAMURAI SNAKE enters. Yup, singing. In his fashion.
SAMURAI SNAKE
“Kickin’ in the front seat, sittin’ in the back seat. Gotta make my mind up, which seat—”
HERO MAN
NO! Absolutely not! I refuse! You all should be killed with fire!
Hero Man leaves in a huff. There’s a beat, then:
SAMURAI SNAKE
One, two, three…
HERO LASS/BUG BOY/SAMURAI SNAKE
“It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Friday, Friday gettin’ down on Friday, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend…”
Hero Man, compelled by the music edges back on, singing.
ALL
Partyin’ partyin’ YEAH! Partyin’ partyin’ YEAH! Fun, fun, fun, fun—
Sounds indicate The Kid is coming. They scramble.
HERO LASS
Aaand… Action!
They freeze. Beat.
HERO MAN
(low and soulful)
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday. Today it is Friday, Friday. We, we, we so excited. We so excited…
FADE OUT.

We thought you might enjoy seeing where it all begins, with the script. We chose a fan favorite (and one of ours, too), PUSHING BUTTONS from Season 2. read the script and then go watch it again to see how things change when we get on set…
Let us know what you think!

THE SHELF - DAY
BUG BOY, HERO MAN, HERO LASS and SAMURAI SNAKE are sitting on the shelf. The giant marker is nearby and they’ve clearly been sniffing it.
BUG BOY
But seriously. Okay. Seriously. If you could be any other action figure, who would you be?
HERO LASS
Why?
BUG BOY
Just, you know, if you could.
HERO MAN
I would be a dump truck.
Bug Boy & Samurai Snake start giggling.
HERO LASS
That’s not a… a action figure. That’s… a truck.
BUG BOY
A truction figure.
They all think that’s funny.
SAMURAI SNAKE
I would be Moon Mistress.
BUG BOY
Wait. What? Why?
Samurai Snake mimes touching his breasts.
HERO MAN
Oh, wait, Moon Mistress, right? Right? That’s what he said, right?
HERO LASS
You got one!
Bug Boy slaps him on the back and inexplicably, Hero Man blurts out heroically:
HERO MAN
From the Edge of the Forever Dimension, we ride!
Everybody stares at him.
BUG BOY
What the fuck?
HERO MAN
I don’t know what came over me.
BUG BOY
Wait a minute…
He slaps him on the back again, and this time:
HERO MAN
Fist of justice!
Samurai Snake looks under Hero Man’s cape, sees something and also slaps him on the back.
HERO MAN
Power Kick!
Hero Man looks unnerved.
HERO MAN
Stop doing that!
HERO LASS
How did I never notice that you had one of those?
HERO MAN
One of what?
Hero Lass presses the button on his back.
HERO MAN
We’ve won the day!
BUG BOY
How many before he loops?
HERO LASS
Lemme see.
She starts pushing the button in rapid succession.
HERO MAN
Evil is a bad habit! I smell deviants! Justice prevails! I’ll smack the Evil from your mouth! I taste blood! From the Edge of the Forever Dimension, we ride!
HERO LASS
There it is.
Hero Man starts to cry. Bug Boy offers his back to Samurai Snake.
BUG BOY
Hey, do I have one?
Samurai Snake taps him. Nothing. Hero Lass offers her back.
HERO LASS
What about me?
Bug Boy presses her back. Nothing.
Samurai Snake turns around and Bug Boy presses it. He farts loudly.
SAMURAI SNAKE
HA! Gotcha!
Everyone clears to the other side of the shelf as SS sssssnickers and does a victory dance.
